Onyx, you do know about the ad-blocking add-ons for browsers, don’t you? They also block pop ups, and I think some block those “sticky-footers” as well. Would people really pay more for blocked ads, when they could block them on their own for free?
LOL. Well, I have one that usually works when I “search” for stuff and also AVG that warns me about ghastly graphics, but I don’t venture to other sites. I linked to Jim’s examples yesterday: Drudge and Newsbusters and I saw their ads: 7 tracking cookies hit me altogether.
